Lance,
They were just under a top covering of mud, as a matter of fact, the more
muddy 1" or 2" contained more of this species. Never were found on the
emergent vegetation or in the shallow water, you have to dig a little to get
the clams, just as in New England or Cook's Inlet in Alaska!

> Aye! I read the earlier description and where you found it and was
thinking that's what it was. Did you find it under the substrate or on top?
When I was little and the fish weren't biting I used to dig in the sandbar I
was sitting on and I would find them fingernail clams about a foot under.>>> BG Granier <shinerscoop_at_bellsouth.net> wrote:> > From Jeremy's websites that he referred me to, it very much does appear
